What is the origin of the line, 'Are we human, or are we dancer' I know it was a phrase used by a writer unfortunately thats where my knowledge ends.

Brandon Flowers (lead singer)

"It's taken from a quote by [author Hunter S.] Thompson. ... 'We're raising a generation of dancers,' and I took it and ran. I guess it bothers people that it's not grammatically correct, but I think I'm allowed to do whatever I want," he laughed. " 'Denser'? I hadn't heard that one. I don't like 'denser.' "

Sorry to be ignorant but was that the whole quote by the auther or was that said by Brandon Flowers

Look at the punctuation!! The single quote marks denote Thompson's quote.
